Jobs
Soul Crystals for Disciples of War and Magic, commonly referred to as job stones by players, are equipable items that are needed to upgrade a base class to a job. These are obtained at level 30 from job quests. When obtained, they cannot be discarded by any means.
For jobs that do not having a corresponding class, the soul crystal will automatically equip if the player equips a weapon for the job. It is not possible to unequip the soul crystal on such a job.
The level 20 Main Scenario Quest 
Sylph-management is required before any of these job quests will appear. Expansion Jobs have additional requirements.

Crafters
All crafter soul crystals require completion of 
Beloved of the Builder and cost one 
Soul of the Crafter. You may only possess 3 crafter soul crystals at a time; if you attempt to acquire a fourth you must first forfeit one already in your possession, and may do so only three times per week. Equipping a crafter soul crystal will unlock specialist perks for the corresponding class. Unlike combat jobs, crafting specialization is entirely optional for progression.

Lore
Ever since the height of the Allagan Empire in the Third Astral Era, the practice of using crystals to store and impart knowledge has been prevalent in Eorzea. An adornment known as a “soul crystal" is worn close to the skin, where the uncommonly clear facets of the carefully cut shard catch and transcribe the ebb and Flow of a soul's aetherial composition-effectively capturing an imperfect echo of the wearer's memories. This arcane tool engraved with the myriad deeds of heroes from eras past was employed by many of the disciplines of yesteryear to preserve and pass on the skills of successive generations of masters.
The wisdom contained in a soul crystal, however, is not so easily drawn forth-an untrained neophyte cannot simply pick up one of these gems and expect his mind to be flooded with the knowledge of advanced spellcraft or combat techniques. Without first attaining sufficient proficiency and tempering one's soul to mirror the maturity of the crystal's contributors, a prospective student will be denied even the slightest glimpse of enlightenment. Thus, as is the case with the more contemporary disciplines, the key to mastering the secrets of a soul crystal lies in diligent study and training. [1]
